Online Learning with Heart.
Connected Camps is a global online community where kids aged 8-15 build, code, play, and learn from one another, guided by college counselors who inspire and challenge them. Social and hands-on learning is both life changing and irresistible. We leverage Minecraft and the sharing economy to make these learning experiences accessible for all kids.
Founded in 2015 by a leading game designer, educational researcher, and technology entrepreneur, Connected Camps is built on decades of learning science research on what fuels meaningful learning that is genuinely interesting for kids. We served over 2000 families in our first year, through in-game online summer camps, events and workshops that engage kids in coding, game design, engineering and media creation, and have build a vibrant peer learning community on our free year-round Minecraft server.
